On Saturday, Feb. 25, one of the world’s most acknowledged authorities on Lincoln will transport listeners back to a troubled time in U.S. history. Historian Thomas Schwartz, who has a doctorate in history and international relations, will paint the bleak picture of civil unrest, unpopular politics and the need for America’s 16th president to preserve a nation, its laws and the fledgling Republican Party.

Gen. Douglas E. Lee was the perfect guest speaker for Marco Island’s Community Prayer Breakfast. On Tuesday, he addressed the island’s largest interfaith event attended by 515 people at the Marco Marriott Resort & Spa. After 31 years of active duty, the retired Lee used his experience as a chaplain to distill views on military service and religious tolerance. Lee grew up believing that serving his country would be the high point in his career. Disappointment derailed that dream when a back ailment eliminated him from being drafted to serve in Vietnam.
